Can you imagine anything more cosy than a softly crochetedswool cushion snugly placed in your favorite chair?

The original cushion illustrated was crocheted in two shades of green, the background being crocheted in dark green with the “grape” design standing out in light green. Many may prefer the cushion throughout in one color, which of course simplifies the working. This stitch works up beautifully into pram and cot covers. Using white and pale blue wools for preference.

If the “grape” design is to be in contrasting shade wind the wool into small balls, each containing about 2 3/4 yards; this being sufficient to finish each group, and can remain at the back of work when not in use.

The “grape” stitch is worked as follows:

(Examine diagram of stitch.) Having one loop on hook, insert hook under 2 strands of D.C. 3 rows below, (taking care that D.C. picked up are DIRECTLY below.) Draw up loose loop about 3/4 of an inch long. Repeat this twice more keeping all the loops on hook. Wool over and through remaining loop. This will be referred to as “1 grape” throughout.
